For lowering I personally would take it to California wheels in San Jose.Ask for Tommy. I did check with Zim first but he wants twice as much. Tommy just did my wifes CL500 and my S600. Heres a pic

How much did Tommy charge you? Did he use links or did he use a lowering module?

He told me he usually charges between $800-900 but I bought a set of rims and had my wifes car lowered as well so he did both cars for that. No lowering module he uses the links. He told me he could lower it more if I wanted.
